While George Ashenfelter, young boy
about twelve or fourteen years old, son Of
Mr.. David AshenfelteT, living near town,
was fishing on the river bank, one day
last week, he met WITH a singular and
painful accident. He had his open pocket
knife 10 his hand at the time when he
was suddenly attacked bya number of
angry bees. Forgetting about the knife
which was very sharp, he commenced
striking at them, when he cut himself in
the thigh, inaicting long, deep cash,
which, though painful, is not serious. The
loss of blood was considerable, making
him feel right faint for little while
George says that while knife may be a
very effective weapon in a COW bov fight
or hand-to.hand melee it is poor thing
TO fight bees with, and the next time he
has misunderstanding with these pestit-
erous splinter-tailed bugs he will drop bis
knife and scufle around for good, thick
! two-handed brush.

The weeds and filth that edOrn some OF
our streets are eye-sores Of the worst
kind. Can't they be cleaned up IN some
way? Such displays Of neglig ence and
want Of energy are enough to drive visi'

such things are never looked after and
attended to : We have town govern
ment, pretty expensive one at that but
il seems to be very useless kind OF an
